Its Bus D70, which is supposed to stop at Kasi theatre Stop, Ashok Pillar, Chennai. Even Ticket was issued with Kasi Theatre printed on it. But the driver crossed the bus stop without stopping there. When our volunteer enquired, the conductor said it wont stop there without any reason. After a mini argument, the Conductor went on further and said “Complaint on me, if you want.”

100 Peak hour general shifts introduced from 26.12.2012 to handle over crowding.

Also the Driver and Conductors are strictly warned and told to stop at all bus stops after 2 months of Complaint.

Then another RTI has been applied by June, 2013 to enquire about the cases filed on MTC for various Violations (in the time period April, 2012 to March, 2013) such as Red Signal Violations, Overcrowding, Vehicular Pollution and accident cases. For this RTI, we got the following response from MTC:

No cases booked by Traffic Police for overcrowding, such as in above Picture. But the uneducated Police only focus on beating the students in foot board and pushing them inside the already overcrowded buses, which is a violation of basic Human Rights.

No cases booked by Traffic Police for Vehicular Pollution.

3267 Notices issues by Traffic Police for Signal Violations and a fine of Rs. 1,62,350 is paid.
